Can it be cleaned by machine or do you need a hand-washable mattress cover? What size is the bed and can you lower or raise it to accommodate? What is the weight and is it easy to move around your home, especially when you intend to use it in more than one room at the same time?
Mum test subject Jasmine particularly loved the fact that this crib is able to swivel, making it easier to reach in and out of to take her baby. She also appreciated its size although she said it's not as big as a full-sized crib but it's bigger than standard Moses baskets and is a comfortable crib for babies. It's also easy to put together and can be folded flat, making it easy to move. It was somewhat heavy for some mums who were carrying it around, which could be an issue for those who have mobility problems.

Budget
The best cribs for bedside use are those that are near your bed, so you can watch your baby, change nappys at night and feed your baby without having to get up from your bed.

The majority will have a bed, which is ideal as you don't want it too hard or clumpy.
It is also important to consider the ease of build - some cribs are more simple than others, and the more complicated models likely costing more. Be sure to consider whether the crib is suitable for your bed or not. Some cribs may only work with a specific kind of divan base, which can be an issue if you have a unique bed frame.
